Claustrophobia is an anxiety disorder in
which the sufferer has an irrational fear of having no escape or being
closed-in. It frequently results in a panic attack and can be triggered by
certain stimuli or situations, such as being in a crowded elevator, a small
room without any windows, or being in an airplane. Some patients with
claustrophobia find their anxiety levels rise when they wear tight-necked
clothing.
